Scutter

Scutters are a very dangerous species on Abri.  They do not have eyes, but have a very sensitive taste gland in the back of their throats.  They can locate prey up to a mile away.  They have several rows of teeth that make quick work of any meal.  They are one of the fastest land animals on Abri.

Tright

The long stretches of night on Uvon VII have led to the rise of several nocturnal animals.  The tright is one of the few that can fly.  Tright have a long nose that they use to direct insects into its mouth while flying.  When it isn't flying, the nose typically flops around as it walks.

Yebi

Yebi like it cold, VERY cold.  They only live in the coldest environments on Vin.  It is covered in white fur to help it blend into the snowy scene, but it ends up keeping the creature warmer than it likes.  To fight this, there is a large gland on its nose that helps  regulate its body temperature by letting cold air into its lungs.

Blossum

Blossum are much more similar to earth scorpions than the flowers that they look like.  These creatures are insectivores and their floral look helps attract pollinators.  It even spends its adolescence half buried in the ground.  They are fairly territorial and get very aggressive when intruders approach.

Dromb

Dromb have a tough, leathery body, but an exposed fleshy head.  It will often float vertically, face out of the water.  The fleshy head has cells similar to that of plants, and the fish is able to photosynthesize the nourishment it needs.  Its tough body helps protect the fairly defenseless fish during this process.

Nolax

The nolax is a very nurturing creature that mates for life.  It typically lays five to six eggs every year, and remains with those same offspring for up to ten years.  If you do the math, after several years, quite a large group of nolax forms - all children of the same group of parents.

Kragler

The nocturnal kragler is one of my favorite animals on exhibit here at our zoo.  It has a large movement sensing organ on its head that helps alert the creature to any dangers during the daytime.  Its eyes are developed for nighttime, so the harsh light of day makes seeing things very difficult.

Parth

Here is an adult parth.  Adolescent parth don't yet have the large stinger that you see on the head of this adult.  The stinger possesses no poison, but can penetrate deep into its prey, fatally wounding it.  Parth are herd animals, and tend to have one male per group of fifteen to twenty.

Quiple

Here we have the quiple.  A strange insect-like bird who is not truly capable of flight.  It has skin flaps that attach its odd antenna to its body.  These skin flaps allow the quiple to glide from rocky crag to rocky crag with ease.  It is largely an insectivore, which just goes to show that you really are what you eat.

Blotto

Every blotto constantly drips ink out of its mouth.   It's typically easy to find a blotto, just follow its ink drops.  You might also notice its three legged body.  This is fairly unique in the animal world, and it is unclear what advantage this gives the creature.
